I just wanted to post, maybe get some discussion started, who knows! Below are what I hope to get done/have done recently to my Xj!

Current: Stock suspension, new roof rack, new from bumper brush guard, new hitch, and some updated sensors and fuel pump, new radiator and head gasket!

Future: Heater core, hood vents (already have them, will be installed this weekend, so pumped), 30" BF Goodrich treads (no funds right now, maybe soon enough in the next year?), potential body only lift, or a 1.5" (don't want it too tall, not too much heavy offroading but love the look of a bit of effort), and interior upholstry to match the exterior

Super Future: 4wd conversion, seat swap with WJ for rear headrests and a bit more comfort, power windows!

Let me know if you all have ideas or thoughts on any of this! I am mechanically inclined, so no fear of that, but also work a full time job doing shift work and have another car as a daily. Time is minimal and I have patience, if all this takes years that won't bug me. I'm in for the long haul!

What all do you guys have planned?

Welcome to Cherokeeforum

Nice looking vehicle. I am usually not a fan of decals but those look good.

Whatever height lift you end up deciding on, it has to be suspension. A body lift is not possible.

 

My thoughts about the decals exactly (although it was "graphics" which immediately came into my head) - & the idea of matching interior is intriguing.

 

Thanks! I appreciate that!

Good to know about the body lift vs standard lift. Looks like i will be saving up for that. I dont need or want tlanything too insane but itll add a little sumn sumn ya know. Ive saved some tires to me future pile so thatll be first as these ones are getting up there in age

 

what size tires?
